Does anyone have any links to web sites that explain the way Lsd works as far as creativity and pattern solving is concerned. Im interested in learning how it effects the way your mind judges time intervals and so forth. (when tripping and when not tripping
Very little is known about how the brain works while SOBER, let alone under the influence of any drug.. As for how it effects creativity/etc, my suggestion would be to read trip reports from various sites: erowid, lycaeum, etc
read if you know basics about psych you should be able to understand this <a href="http://www.cesar.umd.edu/cesar/drugs/lsd.asp"> http://www.cesar.umd.edu/cesar/drugs/lsd.asp </a>
i think a quote from the electric koolaid acid test is appropriate here: "Now when I say 'Go,' you tell me when you think a minute is up by saying, 'Now.' Have you got that?" Yeah, he had that. Kesey was soaring on LSD and his sense of time was wasted, and thousands of thoughts per second were rapping around between synapses, fractions of a second, so what the hell is a minute--but then one thought stuck in there, held . . .ma-li-cious, de-li-cious. He remembered that his pulse had been running 75 beats a minute every time they took it, so when Dr. Fog says 'Go,' Kesey slyly slides his slithering finger onto his pulse and counts up to 75 and says: "Now!" Dr. Smog looks at his stop watch. "Amazing!" he says, and walks out of the room. i have found that time dies when i take lsd. it seems like a cool idea to try to define the effects of lsd on time perception and critical thinking and creativity and all. as with all things in 'reality' time is only another thing you perceive and interpret the way you want (even if subconsciously) and could do so completely unlike anyone else. b/c the body speeds up physically and psychologically it seems logical that one would think several hours have passed when actually only a few minutes have gone by. for me, however, i prefer to simply take it all in and enjoy the experience, since time is only an illusion anyways and increased logical thinking is definitely not an attribute of the lsd experience. and of course it goes w/out saying that lsd dramatically increases creativity and i've actually heard of people performing very demanding mental activities (non of which i can recall right now sorry) while on acid. ill edit this later when i remember said activities. ok well its time to cut myself off this is getting way too long. peace and love.
One way to determine the effects that LSD(or tripping in general) has on time, is to stare at a clock while tripping balls. One minute will seem like hours. You will go insane.
